5. Fast Executions on Market Orders
Firstly, the lag-time between placing a "Quick Buy"/"Quick Sell" order and having it execute. I've seen this take anywhere from 30 seconds up to a minute and a half. In one case, the trade didn't execute, but stayed on the books in small pieces, and I had to delete each one manually and place the order again. It would be better if Quick mode either locked the orders in question for 5 seconds while waiting for approval, or simply executed what they could immediately and warned you that some of your orders couldn't complete
I've been having a lot of trade execution problems with CryptoXChange - anyone else experience this too?
Mine tend to evolve around an order which I want to fill showing its buy/sell button, then after I place the trade, it will not fill or stay there for up to a minute, or sometimes more before executing. If the order depth (through the api or the web page) is queryed during this time, it'll show a buy and a sell price which is the same and sometimes an overlap where sell prices exceed buy prices!?
I can understand this happening at busy times, especially when there is high volatility for a few seconds at a time, but from what you are saying ssaCEO, you, like me have seen this happen for minutes at a time.
I have raised this a number of times with them but I don't tend to get an answer. This along with a number of queries asking about how their order matching system works. Do you have any further information about this cryptoxchange?
*edit* This has been identified as an issue and fixed, see:
